IRCC invites 2,000 Canadian Experience Class candidates in April 14 Express Entry draw
On 14 April 2026 IRCC issued 2,000 ITAs to Canadian Experience Class candidates with a CRS cut-off of 515—the highest CEC score in almost two years. The draw underscores Ottawa’s focus on converting in-country temporary workers to permanent residents, but the rising score means employers may need to invest more heavily in retention incentives or French-language training for key staff.
